The guide , Phillip, was outstanding. Very informative and knowledgeable about the area. We did a stop at Silves before going to wine tasting. At the vineyard the wine was good. 4 different tastings. We didn’t purchase any wine because they could not ship to US. Only would ship to European countries. Overall the trip was great.

We took this tour in May 2026. Our driver/tour guide was Filipe. He was good at providing information about Lagos, the farming business, stork nests (with baby storks), Silves castle, and the Quinta do Frances winery. Filipe gave us plenty of time to enjoy the Silves castle (which is huge, and in remarkable shape given its age). He also provided and intro to the Quinta do Frances wines and took us on a tour of the wine making process. It was a great way to spend an afternoon.

This was an excellent tour! Filipe was full of local information. We were not expecting to stop in Silvas so that was a nice bonus. The wine tour was informative with great photo opportunities and nice wines. Highly recommend .

Excellent tour of an outstanding winery. We ended up buying six bottles, and would have bought twelve had it not been for the weight limitations of our suitcase. I offered to remove my wife’s shoes to make room, but she was noncompliant 😛

Don’t go hungry as tapas small . Our tour guide Rui was very nice & informative. Stopped in Silves & visited the castle & cathedral. Lovely tour 👍
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hello, We are very happy that you enjoyed your time with us.
About Tapas - It's a small Tapas plate to enjoy with the Wine 🍷 not a meal. Most of the people think it's enough and sometimes even there is some they don't finish the Tapas.
All the best. South Explorers Team

Pros:
Rui is a nice and fun guide. The stop in the city before the tasting is a nice idea. The winery is in a beautiful location.
Cons: while the stop in the city is a nice idea the time there is too short so you have to rush it. It should either be longer or left out.
The winery itself is beautiful but the wine tasting is a bit disappointing at this price point. You get tasting sipps of their three cheapest wines and a small plate of cold sausage and cheese. Have to admit this fits the description so far. However,
the glasses did not get changed between wines and water wasn't offered at the table. This is just absolute tasting basics.
For 130 Euro (two persons) you might be better off booking an Uber to the winery and buy their deluxe tasting. Or spend your money at some of the local wine bars.
No hate against the company or anyone working their but this is an honest opinion from someone who had their fair share of tastings that were more worth of what was paid.
Response from Host, May 2025
Hello Peter,
We are happy that you enjoyed the experience with us. We understand that the price can be questionable for you. The description is clear and like you said, everything was delivered to you. The visit to Silves it's just a little stop (around 1 hour) and most of the people enjoy it. We have different tours where we enjoy a longer time in Silves.
About the Wine Tasting - we visit a Small vineyard where they do great wines. It's a family business and they don't have infrastructure to change the glass between wines but in your case we asked them to change it as you requested. Water is available too and we provided water to you in the van too. In the Tour we have the 3 Wines for Tasting and we even included a extra wine for you to taste. We include the Tapas Plate to go with the wine. You had a Wine Tour to the production room where your guide explained you a little bit about the process.
This Tour is much more than just a wine Tasting.
If you just want drink wine you can take Uber or spend the money around the Wine to drink, it's easy.
If you want a experience with wine, history, culture and more please join us 😊
Best Regards

The time spent on this trip was ideal (4 hours). Our guide Rui was very knowledgeable on all aspects of the trip and fully engaged with both of us, always quick to point out places/points of interest. The visit to the Quinta Do Frances winery was really enjoyable with particularly good wines to taste along with some tapas. Definitely recommended!

This is the 2nd. time we did this trip and again it did not disappoint! This time we explored the village and some of the shops. Ceramica al - tannur was my absolute favourite! Loved meeting the owners/artists! The winery was lovely with some wonderful wines but the best part was António our guide and the people we shared the trip with (2 from England and 4 fellow Canadians 3 of whom live in Ireland and England) Great laughs and great memories to take home with us. Obrigado António, hope to see you again sometime!
